Re: Height Limitations.

[Deleted User 009 0]

Hey Asulon,

After much negative feedback towards our recent change in height limitations, allowing normal players to only go up to the old Y:128 and only Ender/Aether VIPs to go above that, we’ve decided to change how this mechanic works a bit.

ALL players can now build up to y:150.

ALL vips can now build up to y:200.

ALL aether VIPs can now build up to y:256.

Normally, we would have simply allowed all players to build up to the new game height max of 256. However since our map was generated with a 128 height maximum, all our mountains and natural biomes are made with that height in mind. So if every player could suddenly build things that are 2x as high as the biggest mountains of Asulon, things would start looking a little cartoonish and silly. A few epic buildings makes perfect sense, but we want to make sure there is some regulation to what people build.

Originally we limited it to high tier VIPs because we knew those people would be some of the most high quality members that would care about the server, and not want to ruin the terraforming of it.

P.S. Beds now heal you again!

EDIT: Even if you can't build in a height area, you can still travel there and break blocks there. It's only a limitation on BLOCK_PLACE.

Awesome! Just think the sorta trees we can make!

EDIT: First!

Hmm... while I do accept your reasoning... I don't think someone should have to pay $500 to build epic structures. Fair enough that you should have to be VIP, but if some really good builders out there (that we certainly have!) come to the point that they really could do with the full height limit, I don't think they should have to pay $500 to do so.

I think that the 256 limit should be available to either Gold and up, or Diamond and up.

but this is just my opinion, you've probably thought this through long and hard and I appreciate that.

What do these people NEED skyscrapers for? I don't get why this is something worth QQing over.

There's no reason for anyone to build that high.

I'm sure others will still be upset about it, but this is much better and I'm quite happy. Thank you Vaq.

Money does not equate to player value and especially not to roleplay value.

To be -1ed. This system is being abused.

I can't think of any builds that'd actually extend up into the y-200's and still look good. Maybe a druid tree. The old y-128 served us well, I don't understand why we need to go higher.

Stop trolling by posting nonconstructive comments. You know you're doing it, so stop doing it.

I am glad to see changes made, I can accept now donating within my budget for a smaller tier vip to be able to continue constructing on the terrace in Alras. Thank you for the changes made, even with the limitation not being completely removed, I feel this is reasonable. Furthermore, I am sorry for the turmoil that I caused regarding this, however, it goes to show that the administration is listening, and for that, I am happy.

But I do agree with the previous comment, in some cases, the amount of money a player is willing to donate to the community does not indicate the quality of the player.

Anyways, Glad to see these changes made, and thank you administration, for listening to the community.
